TIE st. Louis Republican says; "It
Is notable that the newspapers which
side with the railroads in their COM
plants against the interstate law are
thorough-going in their opposition to
the measure. They have already made
up their verdict and are bowling for q
repeal-not amendment-ot the law.
They are in favor of letting the railroads
60 their own gait without any regulation
whatever; and, generally speaking, they
practically indorse the very abuse the
law was designed to correct. In fact,
they generally represent the communities
or interests that have profted by those
abuses and are interested in seeing them
maintained"

TEXAS may take heart OF grace, as not
yet beyond the pale. The fighting of this
country is confined generally to the rough
and tumble fight of saloons and other To-
ca1ities where the vicious cougregate,
but it remains for the sacred precincts of
the Lotus Club in the refined city of New
York to show an artist and critic en-
gagged in a regular fsticuf. There
was 'cussin' and gouging, blow from
the shoulder and general mixing of
contestants which might have done honor
to a sawdust pit, but was hardly in har-
mony with the elegant surroundings of q
New York club room. This shows, how
ever, that civilization, art and lotus
flower could only temporarily Iull
brute passion. OF course, there was q
suspension of membership, but the
Texas mode is better, as it generally
clears society of one if not more of such
troublesome members and leaves no room
for further discord.

DAVIS AND BEAUREGARD.

The controversy between eXPresident Davis
and General Bea lregard, growing out of the
remarks let fall by the former at the unwilling
of John ston's statue at New Orleans some time
ago, will excite interest, especially among old
soidiers.-T Austin Statesman.
Is the Statesman quite sure that cold
soldiers" VITO wore the gray will be graf
flied ct q display which cannot but be
pleasing to those whose hatred of the
Lost Cause extended to the individuals
who in all sincerity and fidelity followed
that cause through all its vicissitudes to
the final fatal ending? Lives were given,
property was sacrificed, priVations
were endured; but at the close
honor was left. That honor was
no more furnished at Appomattox
than at Gettysburg or Manassas, but it
can not be maintained in all it's spotless
purity by unseemly wrangles over the
cause of defeat here and there. History
demands truth, but not an undigniied
disputation between men who were lead
ers of the Lost Cause. Jefferson Davis
is the embodiment of the cause that was
lost, and those who marched and fought
and for four long, bloody years 1beyea'
his orders as honored, beloved
chieftain, are Convinced that
of all men he Should dIgnity
his defeat and their defeat by silence

IT MUST be very pleasant to bitter enc
mics of the south to see the survivors of
its once great armies "fussing" as to why
they were defeated. Lee went to his
grave after a life of golden silence, and
history will write Lee down as the great
est man the war produced. The fellows
who went barefooted, and ate parched
corn and got licked, are now at work for
living. 1t does them no good to be told
that they only lost the fight through
somebody's incompetency.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, April 26.-Colonel
W. L. Thompson, special inspector of
customs, to-day seized $50 head of
horses ana mares in this city belonging
to julian Hewbra Hinojosa and A. Il.
Barviada, the former of Mexico and the
latter Of Brownsville. The stock was
imported under the clause which allows
the free importation of mares for
breeding purposes, and it was
discovered that they were really
intended for sale and speculation.
This makes about 1000 head seized by the
Colonel and his aids during the past four
weeks. He says the business is assuming
gigantic proportions on the border, that
some very heightened people are engaged
in It extensively, end intimates that q
large number of indictments will be
presented at the coming session of the
federal court here. e

rs unawsres. The patients have
pains about the chest and sides, and
some times in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has bad TASTE
especially in the morning. A sort OF
sticky slime collects about the teeth
The appetite is poor. There is feeling
like a heavy load on the stomach; some
times a faint, ali-gone sensation at the
nit of the stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel clammy,
After a while a cough sets in; at first dry'
but after few months it is attended with
q greenish coIored expectoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any rest. After
g time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, 3 sort of whirling sensa-
ton in the head when rising up suddenly.
The bowels become costiye; the skin is
dry and hot st times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites of the
eyes become tinged with yellow; the kid
ney secretions become scsntY and high
colored, depositin : sediment after
stazaing. There is frequently splitting
up OF the food, some times with a sour
taste; and some times with sweetiSh
taste; this is frequently attended with
palpitation of the heart and rheumatic
symptoms; the vision becomes impaired,
with spots before the eyes; there is
feeling of great prostration and weak
ness. All of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that nearly one

the testimonials in favor of its curative
powers are overwhelming. Hundreds Of
so called diseases under various names
are the result of indigestion, and when
this one trouble is removed the other

toms of the real malady.

ABOUT MR.. CLEVELAND.

All this talk of what Mr.. Cleveland
said or did not say to certain gentlemen
concerning a reelection raises this ques-
ton: If he does not indicate desire to
be regarded as out Of the race before the
national convention meets, and that con-
vention should nominate him, would he,
as man loyal to his party and the re-
cipient of its highest hOnors, be justified
in declining? Such declination would be
regarded as an expression of his doubt OF
success, and do his party grieVous injury.
While it may be generally agreed that no
man ought to decline an honor in
advance of its tender, in this case
it would seem to be Mr.. CIeveland's
duty to scquaint his party IN some way
with his resolve to retire from public life,
if such resolve he has reached. No
man need be told the depressing effect
on party fortunes to have it's highest gift
declined and by the man in office,
and if Mr.. Cleveland has deter
mined upon a retirement at the expi-
ration of his first term, now is the time for
the Democracy of the country to be made
acquainted with the fact. If Mr.. Cleve-
land does not authoritatively give out
such declaration his acceptance of a re-
nomination may be regarded as foregone
con clusion.

PRINTING OFFICES TAXABLE.

cred in this State by Il sort of tacit
consent that printing presses and
material were not taxable and they
have not been assessed, it being
considered that they were the tools

exempt. Some months ago, how
